The Digital Doctor

I am proud to announce that I have story-lined and scripted the Doctor Who games for both the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS. This is a huge honour for me, especially in a medium which I have been enthusiastic about for many years. I’ll post a few more details on here as and when I’m allowed, but in the mean time here are the sexy covers:

The July Update

Again, my updates are becoming more and more sparse, so to make up for the lack of posting recently, I thought I’d reveal a few pieces of news in one go!

  • First off, Nuclear Time! with only a week to go until its official release, Amazon have posted an exclusive prelude to the novel which you can read for free here. In fact it’s not strictly a prelude and slots into the middle of the book quite nicely whilst adding a bit of illumination on the mysterious blue folder…
  • And it’s not just Amazon that are celebrating the launch of these latest three Doctor Who novels. On the 17th of July, Forbidden Planet’s London Megastore is playing host to Gary Russell, Una McCormack and myself for a signing from 1-2pm, which should be a great laugh. (more details here).
  • Also I’ve recently been allowed to reveal that I have contributed a short story to the Bernice Summerfield Anthology Present Danger, although not straying too far from the world of Doctor Who, this was a great opportunity to try something a little darker than usual.

And I think that’s it for now, although I reckon there’ll be a few more updates to come over the next couple of months as a few other things come to fruition…

Nuclear Time on Bluray

The new DVD and Bluray

Well this is rather darn exciting… The first volume of Doctor Who Series 5 is out on Monday in futuristic Bluray and DVD format, and both copies feature a shiny booklet containing the prologue to Nuclear Time! Hopefully that should whet people’s appetites for its forthcoming release on July the 8th. Needless to say, I’m over the moon.
